Wore out live at Fillmore many times.  My friends brother took us to see them back then.  Started playing the geetar because of them.  Own 6 Les Paul guitars because of them.  I'll have to break out my Gold Top tonight.  Gary Paul is a friend of m... 
Please recommend a coax SPDIF cable similar to the Nordost Tyr 2
Just bite the bullet and buy the Jorma digital cable and be done with all this.  It is above the other price points but below the other expensive digital cables.  We have tried so many, heard so many, this is what we have settled on in our listeni...

Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s
The 6SN7 hybrid amp we build  ask John Rutan about it at Audio Connection.  For an inexpensive integrated Line Magnetics 22 wpc amp sounds great.
